Provided are an imaging apparatus, an image processing method, and an image processing program capable of improving operability in a case in which manual focus adjustment is performed. Processing of extracting a plurality of subjects from moving image data obtained by imaging is performed, first moving image data in which a region including a specific subject among the plurality of subjects is magnified is output to a display destination, and, in a case in which a change has occurred in any of the plurality of subjects in the moving image data, second moving image data in which a region of each of the plurality of subjects is magnified is output to the display destination instead of the first moving image data, and then, in a case in which an instruction to select the subject is given, third moving image data in which a region including a selected subject is magnified is output to the display destination instead of the second moving image data.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. An imaging apparatus comprising: a processor, wherein, in a mode in which focus adjustment is performed, the processor performs processing of extracting a plurality of subjects from moving image data obtained by imaging, outputs first moving image data in which a region including a specific subject among the plurality of subjects is magnified to a display destination, and outputs, in a case in which a change has occurred in any of the plurality of subjects in the moving image data, second moving image data in which a region of each of the plurality of subjects is magnified to the display destination instead of the first moving image data, and then outputs, in a case in which an instruction to select the subject is given, third moving image data in which a region including the selected subject is magnified to the display destination instead of the second moving image data.
2. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein, in a case in which the instruction to select the subject is not given within a first time after the second moving image data is output to the display destination instead of the first moving image data, the processor outputs the first moving image data to the display destination instead of the second moving image data.
3. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the plurality of subjects magnified in the second moving image data include at least the subject in which the change has occurred.
4. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor further performs processing of receiving a setting of a condition for determining whether or not the change has occurred in the subject.
5. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor further performs processing of correcting a condition for determining whether or not the change has occurred in the subject based on a history of the instruction to select the subject.
6. The imaging apparatus according to claim 4, wherein the condition includes at least one of an item used for determination or a threshold value used for determination.
7. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor determines whether or not the change has occurred in the subject based on a change in at least one item of a position, a size, or a subject distance.
8. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor outputs, as the second moving image data, an image in which magnification images of the plurality of subjects are sequentially switched to the display destination.
9. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor outputs, as the second moving image data, an image including an entire image of the moving image data to the display destination in addition to magnification images of the plurality of subjects.
10. The imaging apparatus according to claim 9, wherein the processor performs processing of surrounding the magnification images with frames having different colors, respectively, and surrounding corresponding subjects in the entire image with frames having the same color, respectively, in the second moving image data.
11. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein the processor further performs processing of selecting a target to be magnified in the second moving image data from among the plurality of subjects extracted from the moving image data.
12. The imaging apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the processor further performs processing of receiving a setting of a condition for selecting the target to be magnified in the second moving image data.
13. The imaging apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the processor further performs processing of correcting the condition for selecting the target to be magnified in the second moving image data based on a history of the instruction to select the subject.
14. The imaging apparatus according to claim 11, wherein the processor selects the target to be magnified in the second moving image data based on a change in at least one item of a position, a size, or a subject distance.
15. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein, in a case in which the instruction to select the subject is not given within a first time after the second moving image data is output to the display destination, the processor excludes the subject, which is determined that the change has occurred in a case in which the first moving image data is switched to the second moving image data, from a target for which the change is detected during a second time after elapse of the first time.
16. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein, in a case in which a determination as to whether or not the change has occurred in the subject is made for a plurality of items, in a case in which the instruction to select the subject is not given within a first time after the second moving image data is output to the display destination, the processor excludes an item, which is determined that the change has occurred in a case in which the first moving image data is switched to the second moving image data, from a condition for detecting the change during a second time after elapse of the first time.
17. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein, in a case in which a setting of making a depth of field in the imaging narrower than a specific value is performed, the processor raises a magnification ratio of the subject in a case of magnification display.
18. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein, in a case in which a value of a high-frequency component in a region to be magnified is less than a specific value, the processor lowers a magnification ratio of the subject in a case of magnification display.
19. The imaging apparatus according to claim 1, wherein a display unit provided in an apparatus body and/or an external display device connected via a connection unit provided in the apparatus body is used as the display destination.
20. An image processing method comprising: extracting a plurality of subjects from moving image data obtained by imaging; outputting first moving image data in which a region including a specific subject among the plurality of subjects is magnified to a display destination; and outputting, in a case in which a change has occurred in any of the plurality of subjects in the moving image data, second moving image data in which a region of each of the plurality of subjects is magnified to the display destination instead of the first moving image data, and then outputting, in a case in which an instruction to select the subject is given, third moving image data in which a region including the selected subject is magnified to the display destination instead of the second moving image data.
21. A non-transitory, computer-readable tangible recording medium, which records thereon a program for causing, when read by a computer, the computer to execute a process comprising: extracting a plurality of subjects from moving image data obtained by imaging; outputting first moving image data in which a region including a specific subject among the plurality of subjects is magnified to a display destination; and outputting, in a case in which a change has occurred in any of the plurality of subjects in the moving image data, second moving image data in which a region of each of the plurality of subjects is magnified to the display destination instead of the first moving image data, and then outputting, in a case in which an instruction to select the subject is given, third moving image data in which a region including the selected subject is magnified to the display destination instead of the second moving image data.
